BGGA has set out to develop the leadership skills
of its students while creating encouraging and
positive peer examples on campus.
The program is made up of 12 senior ambassadors
who will lead the student body, as well as 12
junior ambassadors who will use the program to
learn and move up to be a senior ambassador.
All students have to apply to be an ambassador
and then be approved by a group of BGGA staff
members.
Prior to the start of the new school year, the
ambassadors receive training through an
orientation program to set the expectations for
upcoming roles.
And while skills are developed at BGGA, the
students will take with them a set of skills they
didn’t have, on to their future experiences.
The Original You:
Gregory Shen
Gregory Shen, 17, from Vancouver Canada, started
attending Bishops Gate Golf Academy two and a
half years ago. Greg only took up golf four or five
years ago and came to BGGA shooting in the 90s.
This fall, Greg’s scoring average has consistently
been in the 70s and he made it into a playoff
to potentially win an event on the IJGT. While
Greg didn’t win the playoff, his hard work and
dedication have paid off. He’s had an incredible
transformation in such a shot amount of time,
especially since starting golf much later than most
junior golfers. Greg’s story is unique and his high
expectations keep him working on his game and
always seeking new information to improve.
